Edmund's Inside Line
Read the Article
"Though the Scion xD measures out much like the Honda Fit, from its 96.9-inch wheelbase to its 60.0-inch height, the xD seems far less self-conscious. It's also more aggressive than the Nissan Versa, more substantial than the Chevy Aveo, and simply better than the Toyota Yaris."

FIT is so old, European magazines dont even test it in group tests... it used to get rated last 2-3 years ago.
But what we europeans know eh? Yaris in Europe sells only as much as Corolla in the USA :-), and it is 4th best selling car in the class
xD is slightly larger class than Yaris/Fit, and has new 1.8 ZR engine with double-vvti, just like new Corolla.
I had chance to drive new Auris with 1.6 ZR engine and it is really good engine - very smooth, torque from down below, and excellent NVH. I can only imagine that 1.8 version will be only better in smaller and lighter car.
